Em's Dance Recital

We had Em's Christmas Dance recital today. Her class was doing the song Cheetalicious Christmas by the Cheetah Girls. Cathie and I were sharing stories about how when we were kids, we would dance around the Christmas tree listening to this song. We don't even say "Merry Christmas" any more around our house. We all wish each other "Cheetahlicious Christmases".

At the beginning, they asked everyone to turn off their cell phones. Apparently, my Dad believes he is above the law. Mid way through in one of the scene transitions, my Dad's cell phone starts ringing (it was Susan) - buried in his pocket underneath five coats in the seat next to him. I tried to explain to my Dad that he needs to obey the rules just like the rest of us - but you know how he can be now that he's 65 and retired.


(I really don't expect anyone to watch this video other than family and those of you (defelice girls) who tune in just to read about the cute things that Emily says and does).

In the immortal words of the Cheetah Girls, I leave you with these Christmas wishes:
Never hide the Cheetah inside
That's a promise we made
Show how you glitter at Christmas time
Wear your spots your own way
be a Cheetah Everyday

Great job Emily, you reminded me of a leopard on stage.

Um, Jon, just because they are wearing leopard skin tights, it is still a CHEETAHlicious christmas... Get it right.

Speaking of being above the law, I don't think you were supposed to digitally record this performance. (you were supposed to pay a $150.00 for the DVD). Apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

By the way, Emily was as graceful as a Gazelle on stage.

To my surprise, they never announced that we could tape of take pictures. Suckers.

Also, a gazelle would be the prey of a cheetah. Are you saying you wish Emily would be killed?
